Mediation
Every mediation process differs depending on individual circumstances. The mediator’s role is to facilitate effective negotiation and communication between the parties involved. Through effective communication and interest based negotiation the parties are able to build agreements that provide mutual benefits.
Arbitration
Arbitration is an adjudicatory process in which the arbitrator listens to all parties present their positions and then renders a decision or award. Although similar to a binding court proceeding, arbitration allows parties to control the process and is voluntary and private.
Facilitation
Facilitation is a process whereby a third party neutral, who has no decision-making authority, assists groups improve the way they communicate, identify problems and make decisions. The facilitator contributes structure and process to group interactions, so members are able to work effectively to make difficult decisions and resolve conflict. Facilitation is appropriate when a group is not only concerned with the outcome but also how they reach the outcome.
